Sky Sabre air defense missile system was recently unveiled by the British Army. The system has three principal components: the MBDA launcher that fires the CAMM missile, the Saab radar targeting system (named the giraffe), and the Rafael control electronics suite from which the system is operated. Sky Sabre is expected to become operational in 2020.
The contract with Israeli company to develop a battle management, command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (BMC4I) network is valued at £78 million (approx. US$108 million). Details of the deal were first made public in March 2017, when the British Army was reported to beef up its defenses in the Falkland Islands.
Rafael's local partner in the project is the UK-based Babcock group. Babcock will provide a proportion of UK based activity including synthetic based test and integration facilities, project management, and hardware procurement. The percentage of UK work content on BMC4I is put at 40% with the remainder coming from Israel.
